Other than the Red Gyarados, my first shiny was a shiny Pidgey.

My first shiny was a light blue Poliwag. I thought it was a glitch but captured anyway and named it Politaro like Red's from Special. Raised him to lvl 25 and became a Poliwhirl. Sadly I traded him to a (then)friend so he'd be a Politoed, never got him back. :(
It was a comfort when only a short time later RS came out and could not trade w GSC. Politoed was stuck on a old console forever, soon to be obsolete. I shld have felt bad for it, but I was 13 then and sometimes petty. mwa-ha-ha

Being a child who never knew about shinies at all in GSC, I don't know if I ever saw or caught any shinies, it was that long ago. But I just recently started a new game on my Crystal version in light of the new games and I got a shiny Smoochum out of the odd egg. So, sadly, that Smoochum's my first shiny.

I can't remember my first but the last one I remember was a shiny venonat in the bug catching contest.

Shiny Pichu, Crystal Odd egg ( oh my, I hope that returns). Red Gyarados too, but everyone sees/gets that. Other than that, nothing. I'd never seen I pichu before mine hatched, so I thought it was the right color until later.
 

Shiny Pokemon Chaser Ky

<-Gotcha, 140 eggs!
I remember having a shiny Rattata in Silver I believe, but it has been so long that I'm not sure where I caught it. I also caught the Red Gyrados three times over on the different versions. My first 3rd Gen. Shiny was a Zigzagoon in Sapphire, which I still have. I then caught a Shiny Shuppet in Emerald, and Shiny Zubat in Fire Red, and I saw a Shiny Tentacool in Sapphire but my game died. :( But just yesterday I got a Shiny Clefairy from the Game Corner, my first Shiny in FOUR YEARS. I'm still really excited about it, I now have 4 Third Gen. Shinies. :)

Lol@fake shinies people are posting (namely 'red mantine'; shiny mantine is light blue)

My first and only 2nd gen shiny was a Donphan in Mt. Silver. Strangely, seeing as my Gold cart died and my Silver cart looks to be on its last legs, I don't have my shiny Donphan on hand but several of my friends have clones of him.

The very first shiny I've ever seen happened to be in Crystal, a Spinarak. Then I had no idea about shinies, and i thought it's just a different colour for female pokemon and I just fainted it thinking i could catch it later... Oh well..

In current Crystal save my first shiny is an Elekid from the Odd Egg. I soft-resetted the Odd Egg for some cool shiny, as the percentage of getting one is 50%.I sticked with Elekid when I got one.
A wild shiny I caught is Golbat, randomly got it while I wanted to shortly check my mobile for something..

First Shiny

Well, in Crystal my first shiny was the Gyarados. :) Then, I caught a pink Nidorina outside of Route 15 and a Pink/purple Drowzee below where you catch the Sudowoodo. I also saw a shiny Pidgey outside of the daycare center on that file that I stupidly ran away from and a shiny Bellsprout that I ran out of pokeballs to catch in that patch of grass where the Lickitungs are. :( When my file got corrupted, I started over and got a shiny Ditto which I traded from my Pokemon Red file. :D

In Emerald, I also caught a shiny Machop in the Fiery Path. I wasn't paying attention when it came up, so I didn't see it flash, but it was brown and I thought, "Aren't Machop's supposed to be blue?" So I caught it, just in case. :D Good thing I did.
